OFLC Resumes Application Processing; Delays Expected

Nov 10, 2025 | Immigration Articles

The Department of Labor (DOL) announced that the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) has resumed processing of employer requests for prevailing wages and labor certification determinations for temporary and permanent employment in the United States. OFLC’s Foreign Labor Application Gateway (FLAG) system is now accessible, DOL said, as is OFLC’s SeasonalJobs.dol.gov system, an online job registry of H-2A and H-2B temporary job opportunities.

OFLC said it is “taking all steps necessary to resume application processing.” OFLC anticipates “increased requests for stakeholder assistance, and this means some stakeholders may experience longer than normal processing and response times.”
